Why Use A Water Softener?

Most parts of the world suffer from hard water and this is a big problem.

Hard water is what causes white flakes at the bottom of your kettle. It’s what creates the white, hard to wash stains around your faucet, sink, bath or water based kitchen appliances.

The most effective way to deal with hard water is to use a water softener. This is a device that uses sodium to convert hard water into soft water.

Benefits of Water Softener:

No more limescale.

Better for dry hair and skin because there are no hard minerals in your water.

It can prolong the life of your appliances.

Soap and detergent last longer because soap lathers faster and longer with soft water.

No more water limescale stains on glassware.

There are tons and tons of different water softeners available on the market today, but which is the best? The following sections will review the water softener offerings from a brand called Harvey.

Water Softener – Crown, by Harveys Review

The most surprising thing about this water softener is how small it is. Especially when compared to the US water softener models. The Crown by Harvey’s is very compact despite coming with two tanks. Exact measurements are 46 x 21.2 x 49 cm and this is pretty small when you consider it can provide enough soft water for the whole home.

The small size makes it light and easy to carry and that it can potentially fit under your kitchen cabinet. Some people have also found it possible to install it outside or in their garage so that they save space inside the home.

Apart from its small size, the Crown by Harvey has a simple white design. This makes it able to fit into the interior decor of most homes.

Features of Harvey’s Crown Water Softener

The Harvey’s Crown water softener has lots of features despite being such a small compact machine.

The most impressive feature is that it has a twin tank feature so you can access soft water 24-7.

Uses and requires salt blocks to soften your water. This can be better than traditional and more generic softener salt because you do not have to work with heavier bags and only need to change them from time to time.

It has an indicator that emits a red line which let’s you know when to replace the salt blocks.

Harvey’s Water Softener Price

The Harvey’s Crown softener is a the high end of water softener prices coming in at around £850-£950.

It’s a lot more expensive when compared to water2buy which starts at around £400. However, the other cheaper models don’t typically have twin tanks so therefore may not be able to supply soft water 24-7.

Also note that Harvey’s Crown does not use electricity. This alone will save on energy costs.
